MY  Saviour's  praises  I  will  sing, 
And  all  His  love  express  ; 
Whose  mercies  each  returning  day, 
Proclaim  His  faithfulness. 

Cho. — Every  day  will  I  bless  Thee ! 

Every  day  will  I  bless  Thee  !    - 
And  I  will  praise,  will  praise  Thy

Forever  and  ever ! 

2  Redeemed  by  His  almighty  power, 

My  Saviour  and  my  King ; 
My  confidence  in  Him  I  place. 
To  Him  my  soul  would  cling. 

3  On  Thee  alone,  my  Saviour,  God, 

My  steadfast  hopes  depend, 

And  to  Thy  holy  will  my  soul 

Submissively  would  bend. 

4  Oh,  grant  Thy  Holy  Spirit's  grace, 

And  aid  my  feeble  powers. 
That  gladly  I  may  follow  Thee 
Thro'  all  my  future  hours.

I  KNOW  not  why  God's  wondrous  grace.

Redeemed  me  for'^His  own. 
Chc— But  "  I  know  whom  I  have  believed, 
And  am  persuaded  that  He  is  able 
To  keep  that  which  I've  committed 
unto  Him  against  that  day." 

2  I  know  not  how  this  saving  faith 

To  me  He  did  impart, 
Nor  how  believing  in  His  word 
Wrought  peace  within  my  heart. 

3  I  know  not  how  the  Spirit  moves, 

Convincing  men  of  sin, 
Revealing  Jesus  through  the  Word, 
Creating  faith  in  Him. 

4  I  know  not  what  of  good  or  ill 

May  be  reserved  for  me, 
Of  weary  ways  or  golden  days, 
Before  His  face  I  see.

BEHOLD  a  Fountain  deep  and  wide, 
Behold  its  onward  flow ; 
'Twas  opened  in  the  Saviour's  side, 
And  cleanseth  •'  white  as  snow, 
And  cleanseth  white  as  snow." 

Cho. — Come  to  this  Fountain, 
'Tis  flowing  to-day ; 
And  all  who  will  may  freely  come, 
And  wash  their  sins  away. 

2  From  Calvary's  cross,  where  Jesus  died 

In  sorrow,  pain,  and  woe, 
Burst  forth  the  wondrous  crimson  tide

C'^OME  with  thy  sins  to  the  fountain, 
^    Come  with  "thy  burden  of  grief  ; 
Bury  them  deep  in  its  waters. 
There  thou  wilt  find  a  relief.

Risk  not  thy  soul  on  a  moment's  de- 
lay ;

Jesus  is  waiting  for  thee  ; 
What  though  thy  sins  are  like  crimson, 
White  as  the  snow  they  shall  be. 

3  These  are  the  words  of  the  Saviour : 

They  who  repent  and  believe, 
They  who  are  willing  to  trust  Him, 
Life  at  His  hands  shall  receive. 

4  Come  and  be  healed  at  the  fountain. 

List  to  the  peace-speaking  voice ; 
Over  a  sinner  returning 
Now  let  the  angels  rejoice.

O  CHILD  of  God,  wait  patiently 
When  dark  thy  path  may  be, 
And  let  thy  faith  lean  trustingly 

On  Him  who  cares  for  thee ; 
And  though  the  clouds  hang  drearily 

Upon  the  brow  of  night, 
Yet  in  the  morning  joy  will  come 
And  fill  thy  soul  with  light. 

2  O  child  of  God,  He  loveth  thee, 

And  thou  art  all  His  own  ; 
With  gentle  hand  He  leadeth  thee, 

Thou  dost  not  walk  alone ; 
And  though  thou  watfchest  wearily 

The  long  and  stormy  night, 
Yet  in  the  morning  joy  will  come 

And  fill  thy  soul  with  light.

He  calms  thy  fears  to  rest, 
And  draws  thee  upward  tenderly 
Where  dAveli  the  pure  and  blest ;

REJOICE  in  the  Lord,  O  let  His  mercy, 
cheer, 
He  sunders  the  bands  that  enthrall ; 
Redeemed   by  His  blood,  why  should  we 
ever  fear, 
Since  Jesus  is  our  "  all  in  all." 

Cho.— If  God  be  for  us,  if  God  be  for  us, 

If  God  be  for  us,  who  can  be  against 
us  ; 
Who,  who,  who,  who  can  be  against 
us,  against  us  ? 

2  Be  strong  in  the  Lord,  rejoicing  in  His 

might, 
Be  loyal  and  true,  dav  by  day  ; 
When  evils  assail  be  valiant  for  the  right, 
And  He  will  be  our  strength,  our  stay. 

3  Confide  in  His  word.  His  promises  so  sure, 

In  Christ  they  are  "  yea,  and  amen  ;" 
Though  earth  pass  away,  they  ever  shall 
endure, 
'Tis  written  o'er  and  o'er  again. 

4  Abide  in  the  Lord,  secure  in  His  control, 

'Tis  life  everlasting  begun  ; 
To  pluck  from  His  hand  the  weakest,  trem- 
bling soul, 
It  never,  never  can  be  done.

That  flows  like  a  fountain  so  free ; 

Believe,  and  receive  the  redemption 
He  offers  to  you  and  to  me. 

2  He  came  from  the  throne  of  His  glory^ 

And  left  the  bright  mansions  above, 
The  world  to  redeem  from  its  bondage, 
So  great  His  compassion  and  love. 

3  O  come  to  this  wonderful  Saviour, 

Come,  weary  and  sorrow-oppressed, 
Behold  on  the  cross  how  He  suffered, 
That  you  in  His  kingdom  might  rest.

No  shelter  where  lost  ones  m.ay  fly ,

With  zeal  that  shall  never  decline,

AFFLICTIONS,  though  they  seem  se- 
vere, 
In  mercy  oft  are  sent ; 
They  stopped  the  prodigal's  career, 
And  caused  him  to  repent. 

Cho.— "  I'll  not  die  here  for  bread,  I'll  not 
die  here  for  bread,"  he  cries  ; 
*'  Nor  starve  in  foreign  lands  ; 
My  father's  house  has  large  supplies. 
And  bounteous  are  his  hands." 

2  *'  What  have  I  gained  by  sin  ?"  he  said, 

"  But  hunger,  shame,  and  fear?" 
My  father's  house  abounds  in  bread, 
While  I  am  starving  here  ! 

3  "  I'll  go  and  tell  him  all  I've  doae> 

Fall  down  before  his  face ; 

Unworthy  to  be  called  his  son, 

I'll  seek  a  servant's  place.'* 

4  His  father  saw  him  coming  back  ; 

He  saw,  he  ran,  he  smiled, 
And  threw  his  arms  around  the  neck 
Of  his  rebellious  child  ! 

5  "  O  father  !  I  have  sinned— forgive  !" 

"  Enough !"  the  father  said ; 
"  Rejoice,  my  house  ;  my  son's  alive 
For  whom  I  mourned  as  dead  !" 

6  'Tis  thus  the  Lord  His  love  reveals, 

To  call  poor  sinners  home ; 
More  than  a  father's  love  He  feels, 
And  welcomes  all  that  come.

LOOKED  to  Jesus  in  my  sin. 
My  woe  and  want  confessing ; 
Undone  and  lost,  I  came  to  Him,

'Tis  true,  His  "  Whosoever;

And  we  were  one  forever."

For  me  I  saw  Him  dying ;

Were  there  upon  Him  lying. 

3  I  looked  to  Jesus  there  on  high. 

From  death  upraised  to  glory ;

Believed  the  old,  old  story,  '

My  best  resolves  I  only  break, 

Yet  save  me  for  Thine  own  name's  sake, 
And  take  me  as  I  am.

Was  there  ever  kinder  Shepherd, 

Half  so  gentle,  half  so  sweet. 
As  the  Saviour  who  would  have  us 
Come  and  gather  round  His  feet? 

2  It  is  God  !  His  love  looks  mighty. 
But  is  mightier  than  it  seems  : 
'Tis  our  Father,  and  His  fondness 
Goes  far  out  beyond  our  dreams.

There's  a  wideness  in  God's  mercy, 
Like  the  wideness  of  the  sea  ; 

There's  a  kindness  in  His  justice, 
Which  is  more  than  liberty. 

3  There  is  no  place  where  earth's  sorrows 

Are  more  felt  than  up  in  heaven  ; 
There  is  no  place  where  earth's  failings 

Have  such  kindly  judgment  given. 
There  is  welcome  for  the  sinner, 

And  more  graces  for  the  good  ; 
There  is  mercy  witli  the  Saviour ; 

There  is  healing  in  His  blood. 

4  But  we  make  His  love  too  narrow, 

By  false  limits  of  our  own  ; 
And  we  magnify  His  strictness 

With  a  zeal  He  will  not  own. 
There  is  plentiful  redemption 

In  the  blood  that  has  been  shed ; 
There  is  joy  for  all  the  members 

In  the  sorrows  of  the  Head. 

6  If  our  love  were  but  more  simple 

We  should  take  Him  at  His  word  ; 
And  our  lives  would  all  be  sunshine 

In  the  sweetness  of  our  Lord. 
For  the  love  of  God  is  broader 

Than  the  measures  of  man's  mind; 
And  the  heart  of  the  Eternal 

Is  most  wonderfully  kind.

AS  I  wandered  'round  the  homestead, 
Many  a  dear  familiar  spot 
Brought  within  my  recollection 

Scenes  I'd  seemingly  forgot ; 
There,  the  orchard — meadow,  yonder — 

Here,  the  deep,  old-fashioned  well, 
With  its  old,  moss-covered  bucket, 
Sent  a  thrill  no  tongue  can  tell.

2  Though  the  house  was  held  by  strangers, 

All  remained  the  same  within  ; 
Just  as  when  a  child  I  rambled 

Up  and  down,  and  out  and  in  ; 
To  the  garret  dark  ascending— 

Once  a  source  of  childish  dread — 
Peering  through  the  misty  cobwebs, 

Lo !  I  saw  my  trundle-bed. 

3  Quick  I  drew  it  from  the  rubbish, 

Covered  o'er  with  dust  so  long: 
When,  behold,  I  ^heard  in  fancy 

Strains  of  one  familiar  song. 
Often  sung  by  my  dear  mother 

To  me  in  that  trundle-bed  ; 
**  Hush,  my  dear,  lie  still  and  slumber! 

Holy  angels  guard  thy  bed  !" 

4  While  I  listen  to  the  music 

Stealing  on  in  gentle  strain, 
I  am  carried  back  to  childhood — 

I  am  now  a  child  again : 
'Tis  the  hour  of  my  retiring, 

At  the  dusky  eventide  ; 
Near  my  trundle-bed  I'm  kneeling. 

As  of  yore,  by  mother's  side. 

5  Hands  are  on  my  head  so  loving. 

As  they  were  in  childhood's  days; 
I,  with  weary  tones,  am  trying 

To  repeat  the  words  she  says  ; 
'Tis  a  prayer  in  language  simple 

As  a  mother's  lips  can  frame : 
**  Father,  Thou  who  art  in  heaven, 

Hallowed,  ever,  be  Thy  name." 

6  Prayer  is  over  ;  to  my  pillow 

With  a  "  good-night !"  kiss  I  creep. 
Scarcely  waking  while  I  whisper, 
"  Now  I  lay  me  down  to  sleep,'*

Then  my  mother,  o'er  me  bending, 
Prays  in  earnest  words,  but  mild  : 
•*  Hear  my  prayer,  O  heavenly  Father ! 
Bless,'^oh!  bless,  my  precious  child!" 

7  Yet  I  am  but  only  dreaming : 
Ne'er  I'll  be  a  child  again ; 
Man 3^  years  has  that  dear  mother 

In  the  quiet  churchyard  lain  ; 
But  the  mem'ry  of  her  counsels. 
O'er  my  path  a  light  has  shed. 
Daily  calling  me  to  heaven, 
Even  from  my  trundle-bed.

IN  the  secret  of  His  presence  how  my

Oh,  how  precious  are  the  lessons  which  I 

learn  at  Jesus'  side  ! 
Earthly  cares  can  never  vex  me,  neither 

trials  lay  me  low ; 
For  when  Satan  comes  to  tempt  me,  to  the

when  thus  we  meet,  what  He  says  when 

thus  we  meet.

doubts,  my  griefs  and  fears ; 
Oh,  how  patiently    He    listens !   and  my

Do  you  think  He  ne'er  reproves  me?  what 

a  false  friend  Ho  would  be, 
If  He   never,  never  told  me   of  the  sins 

which  He  must  see,  of  the  sins  which 

He  must  see. 

4  Would  you  like  to  know  the  sweetness  of 

the  secret  of  the  Lord  ? 
Go  and  hide  beneath  His  shadow :  this  shall 

then  be  your  reward ; 
And  whene'er  you  leave  the  silence  of  that 

happy  meeting  place. 
You  must  mind  and  bear  the  image  of  the 

Master  in  your  face,  of  the  Master  in

I  WAS  once  far  away  from  the  Saviour, 
And  as  vile  as  a  sinner  could  be  ; 
And  I  wonder' d  if  Christ  the  Redeemer 
Could  save  a  poor  sinner  like  me. 

I  wandered  on  in  the  darkness, 
Not  a  ray  of  light  could  I  see ; 

And  the  tho't  filled  my  heart  with  sadness, 
There's  no  hope  for  a  sinner  like  me.

3  And  then,  in  that  dark  lonely  hour, 

A  voice  sweetly  whispered  to  me, 
Saying,  Christ  the  Redeemer  has  power 
To  save  a  poor  sinner  like  me. 

4  I  listened  :  and  lo  !  'twas  the  Saviour 

That  was  speaking  so  kindly  to  me  ; 
I  cried,  "  I'm  the  chief  of  sinners, 
Thou  canst  save  a  poor  sinner  like  me  I" 

5  I  then  fully  trusted  in  Jesus  ; 

And  oh,  what  a  joy  came  to  me  I 
My  lieart  was  filled  with  His  praises, 
For  saving  a  sinner  like  me. 

6  No  longer  in  darkness  I'm  walking, 

For  the  light  is  noAv  shining  on  me ; 
And  now  unto  others  I'm  telling 
How  He  saved  a  poor  sinner  like  me. 

7  And  when  life's  journey  is  over, 

And  I  the  dear  Saviour  shall  see, 
I'll  praise  Him  forever  and  ever, 
For  saving  a  sinner  like  me.

YOU'RE    starting,    my    boy,    on  life's 
journey, 
Along  the  grand  highway  of  life  ; 
You'll  meet  with  a  thousand  temptations — 

Each  city  with  evil  is  rife. 

This  world  is  a  stage  of  excitement, 

There  is  danger  wherever  you  go ; 

Bat  if  you  are  tempted  in  weakness,

But  if  you'd  be  true  to  your  manhood. 
Have  courage,  my  boy,  to  say  No ! 

3  Be  careful  in  choosing  companions, 

Seek  only  the  brave  and  the  true ; 
And  stand  by  your  friends  when  in  trial, 

Ne'er  changing  the  old  for  the  new  ; 
And  when  by  false  friends  you  are  tempted 

The  taste  of  the  wine  cup  to  know, 
With  firmness,  with  patience  and  kindness, 

Have  courage,  my  boy,  to  say  No  !

Into  endless  sin  I  go. 

If  my  soul  from  reason  rent, 
Takes  from  sin  its  final  bent.

And  within  that  channel  moves, 
So  doth  habit's  deepest  tide 
Groove  its  bed,  and  there  abide.

I'VE  reached  the  land  of  corn  and  wine, 
And  all  its  riches  freely  mine ; 
Here  shines  undimm'd  one  blissful  day, 
For  all  my  night  has  passed  away. 

Jhc— O  Beulah  land,  sweet  Beulah  land, 
As  on  thy  highest  mount  I  stand, 
I  look  away  across  the  sea. 
Where  mansions  are  prepared  for  me, 
And  view  the  shining  glory  shore. 
My  heav'n,  my  home  for  evermore. 

The  Saviour  comes  and  walks  with  me, 
And  sweet  communion  here  have  we  ; 
He  gently  leads  me  with  His  hand, 
For  this  is  heaven's  border-land. 

A  sweet  perfume  upon  the  breeze 
Is  borne  from  ever  vernal  trees. 
And  flowers  that  never  fading  grow 
Where  streams  of  life  forever  flow. 

The  zephyrs  seem  to  float  to  me, 
Sweet  sounds  of  heaven's  melody. 
As  angels,  with  the  white  robed  throng, 
Join  in  the  rsweet  redemption  song.

Step  over  the  line,  I  am  here." 

3  But  my  flesh  is  weak,  I  tearfully  said. 

And  the  way  I  cannot  see  ; 
I  fear  if  I  try  I  may  sadly  fail, 
And  thus  may  dishonor  Thee. 

4  Ah,  the  world  is  cold,  and  I  cannot  go 

back, 
Press  forward  I  surely  must ; 
I  will  place  my  hand  in  His  wounded  palm, 
Step  over  the  line,  and  trust.

Weary,  and  worn,  and  sad  ; 

I  found  in  Him  a  resting-place, 

And  He  has  made  me  glad. 

3  I  heard  the  voice  of  Jesus  say, 
''  Behold,  I  freely  give 

The  living  water — thirsty  one, 
Stoop  down,  and  drink,  and  live." 

4  I  came  to  Jesus,  and  I  drank 

Of  that  life-giving  stream  ; 
My  thirst  was  quenched,  my  soul  revived, 
And  now  I  live  in  Him. 

5  I  heard  the  voice  of  Jesus  say, 
"  I  am  this  dark  world's  light ; 
Look  unto  me,  thy  morn  shall  rise, 

And  all  thy  day  be  bright."

In  Him  my  Star,  my  Sun ;
